Candidates at this level, are tested on very basic but tactful sets of questions in an exam environment. This is to test the   mental prowess and logical reasoning of the candidate and how to deal with basic everyday problems within a given time.

Successful candidates who make it to this stage are grouped into syndicates of 10, with the aim of testing their convincing levels to appeal for support as a team player, conceiving valid thoughts to solve a team problem with agility and speed.
